“We are working to make your life easier”: PM Mia Mottley

Recent polls show the Barbados Labour Party leading in all 30 constituencies, with 78% voter support ahead of the February 11 general election.

Prime Minister Mia Mottley outlined Mission 2030, a people-centered initiative focused on renewable energy, sustainability, and national resilience.

The Carnival Conquest is set to call in Barbados as part of its invitation-only adults-only sailing series, carrying more than 2,700 passengers.

According to political analyst Peter Wickham, public expectations are that Mia Mottley will secure another term, citing her strong leadership during global and regional challenges.

The project is expected to support 150 to 200 small farmers with improved pipelines that will be extended around 25km from the South Coast to Saint Philip.

The snap elections were announced after parliament was dissolved, with polls scheduled for February 11, 2026.

The heavy rain Sunday night poured through an old ceiling, damaging new Christmas items including curtains, sheets and food supplies.

Police reports say the shooting took place at a gas station on the junction of Deacons Road and Black Rock, St. Michael, at around 11:00 AM on December 31, 2025.

Heavy rains could lead to flooding, especially in low-lying and flood-prone areas, according to the Met Service.

The man, who had been seen earlier that morning hiding behind rocks and grape trees, was later found dead in the kiosk, with a wire around his neck, suggesting foul play.

Citizens expressed their frustration and anguish about the incident as it occurred on Christmas Eve, an occasion when people celebrate with each other.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Kenneth George urged Barbadians to take advantage of the free medical services being offered aboard the Silk Road Ark.

The airline will operate nonstop service to Tortola three times per week, Providenciales three times per week, Port of Spain four times per week, Georgetown three times per week, and St. Maarten two times per week.

Arriving passengers were greeted with complimentary cocktails, local treats, and cultural performances, making for a memorable arrival experience.

The new routes will significantly expand connectivity options from interCaribbean's Tortola hub, providing convenient access to Barbados and onward connections to destinations including Guyana, Grenada and Saint Lucia.

Her profile highlights her milestone as Barbados’ first female prime minister, her acclaimed 2021 UN General Assembly speech on climate action and her recognition as a UNEP ‘Champion of the Earth’ for policy leadership.

The airline’s first flight touched down at Eugene F. Correia International Airport on Thursday, boosting regional connectivity and travel options for Caribbean citizens.

The Port of Bridgetown also welcomed four additional cruise ships, including Crystal Serenity and Celebrity Ascent, contributing to the record passenger count for the day.

The airline announced that flights to San Juan and Tortola will be suspended from January 10, 2026, due to operational challenges making the routes unsustainable.
